This actually violates the First Amendment, which generally exempts works of expression from tariffs.
Deranged Trump is now putting a 100% tariff on movies made outside the US.

LAPD unlawfully issuing orders to press today ("MEDIA GO!"). California Penal Code 409.7 explicitly exempts journalists from dispersal orders. LAPD knows this and command staff has been trained on it.
LAPD closing off alameda and aliso. Specifically telling press to leave the area.

If I were the PM of Canada or Mexico, I would impose export duties on anything that Trump exempts from his tariffs. Those exemptions are your guide to "what will cause Trump political pain."

WaPo Deputy Opinion Editor is just straight up lying about Mamdani's estate tax proposal (in both tweets and an op-ed).

The bill contains a $1.75 million primary residence exemption, exempts retirement accounts, and the 50% marginal rate doesn’t kick in until $30 million.

Chris Murphy on the crypto bill: "The problem is the existing version of that bill exempts the president from the ethics requirements. It says it's unethical for me to issue or market a stablecoin, but it's okay for the president to do it. That's not something any Democrat should vote for."

hmmm somehow there's some subtle difference in tone or shading, you might say, that exempts musk himself from this concern about foreign-born people taking part in american democracy
WATCH: Elon Musk is upset that Somalian Americans in Minnesota get to vote.

I object on aesthetic and maybe quasi-moral grounds to language like “devout” and “deeply religious” in this context. If his fanaticism adhered to a different faith, he’d get “fanatic,” “extremist,” “zealot” etc. Perverting the Cross to commit murder exempts you from “devout”

I know youre thinkin 'the Constitution's ban on slavery explicitly exempts prison labor' but it's actually slightly narrower, exempting "punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted"

Section 107, let’s talk about it.

The above process has always been the process taken, and here’s why.

Section 107 of the National Historic Preservation Act exempts the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and the Supreme Court

Okay I misread it, he actually explicitly exempts himself from the pardon, which is interesting
Trump’s pardon attorney Ed Martin claims Trump is pardoning his Georgia co-defendants and other “alternate electors.”

Note: Trump’s Georgia co-defendants are charged under state law. The president can’t pardon people for state crimes.
